We finally got about an inch of much needed rain last Sunday night; the ground has been cracking from the dry weather in this area. Even though it has been dry, we still are thankful we haven’t had any of the terrible storms prevalent in many areas. Such a tragedy.

Farewell to a friend

t his high school reunion, Tim Walker reconnected with several classmates who spent their adult lives out of state. Most had the same question.
“Tim Walker is the mayor of Elizabethtown?”
The surprise in their voices apparently amused him. Walker did something in life that many people never accomplish: He rose above the limits his hometown placed on him.
He set different expectations for himself.
Actually, Tim’s personal aspirations were derived from a sense of duty and faith.

I got to spend this past weekend in Cincinnati with my mom. I love being with her. She truly is my best friend. The funny thing is, the very things that used to drive her crazy about my grandma, I now see in her. When I mention this to her, she says that grandma was great and why shouldn’t she be like her. I can’t help but wonder if in another 20 years, my son and I will be having the same conversation.
